Spicy!

I LOVE Mexican food!  I eat it as often as I can.  I crave it.  Well, apparently some of that must have gotten to Norah while I was pregnant because she loves spicy food too!

Snow in San Antonio!

It Snowed in San Antonio!

I heard that it might snow one night and I didn't want to miss it.  I didn't sleep much that night anyway because Norah had strep throat and two ear infections! (poor baby) I got up about every three hours to give her more pain medicine whenever she woke up moaning. (We slept together in the guest room so I could take care of her.)

During the night, I checked outside the window and I saw that it WAS snowing so I ran downstairs, grabbed my camera and slippers and went outside.

The next morning, we all went outside to see the snow...

No one had really been out yet to disturb the snow too much so it looked pretty cool...

Then, as the day went on, the sun came out and melted everything.  Our roof dripped onto a bush by our door and made pretty icicles...

It was a fun day.

Sea World in the off season

We've been going to Sea World during the week and it's been lots of fun.  Norah loves Shamu and playing in the water and its a great way to spend the afternoon since David doesn't get home until after 7 and Norah isn't taking naps everyday.

Norah loves Shamu, but this one she wasn't sure of.

 She didn't want to get close, so I stepped in to the picture and she was fine.  She absolutely refused to go near the shark, even after I told her he was nice.

They have a new Sesame Street show and we got to take a picture with some of the characters.

They also have a new toddler area in the Bay of Play that Norah liked a whole lot better than the big kids water area.

Silly Norah

Silly Norah didn't take a nap and got reeaalllly tired...

Norah was pretending to snore:

If you don't like dogs, you might not want to watch this next one.

Norah had fun watching the Sesame Street show.  She was the only one dancing.

Fun creativity (time fillers really)

Being home now leaves me with alot of time, especially during Norah's naps, so I've been wanting to find things to do with my hands.  Cupcake decorating, hair bows, and now dresses are helping me fill up time and feel an accomplishment. 

Bunny cupcakes I made for a Relief Society activity

 Cupcakes for David's birthday (I designed them after the designs of the fabric and ribbons)

Hair bows galore!

 Bow I made for a friend

Dress pictures coming later...
